Re: Difference between hillbilly and Redneck?
True hillbilles don't have any social skills and are hard to find, their busy making meth and ploting against the gov.
Long story short, when my grandfather retired he wanted a lot of land, a pond and some place warm. He ended up in Arkansas, way up in the sticks. His town doesn't exist on any maps. He got everything he wanted but some of his neigbors are the exact definition of hillbillies. One guy burries his $$ in the yard cause he doesn't trust banks. He was also whording gas in 55gal drums cause of Y2K ::) |

Re: Difference between hillbilly and Redneck?
Rednecks are pickup driving, shot gun owning, ignorany and racist white people that live in the city (they are common in Texas and such...)
Hillbillys are ignorant, uneducated, racist, interbred racist white people that live in isolation (usually small towns or in the mountains and country). |

Hillbillys are ignorant, uneducated, racist, interbred racist white people that live in isolation (usually small towns or in the mountains and country). The term "Hill-Billies" is first encountered in documents from 17th century Ireland. Roman Catholic King James II landed at Kinsale in Ireland in 1689 and began to raise a Catholic army in an attempt to regain the British throne. Protestant King William III, Prince of Orange, led an English counter force into Ireland and defeated James II at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. A significant portion of William III's army was composed of Protestants of Scottish descent (Planters) who had settled in Ulster in northern Ireland. The southern Irish Catholic supporters of James II referred to these northern Protestant supporters of King William as "Hill-Billies" and "Billy Boys"--Billy being an abbreviation of William; the term "Billy Boy" is still used today, mainly in Northern Ireland. The Catholics and Protestants were at war and the terms were not spoken in kindness. Supporters of King William more generally came to be known as Orangemen. It is believed that the term "hillbilly" in the United States was conferred during the early 18th Century by the occupying British soldiers as a carry over from the Irish term, in referring to Scots-Irish immigrants of mainly Presbyterian origin, dwelling in the frontier areas of the Appalachian Mountains[citation needed]. These Protestant Irish colonists brought their cultural traditions with them when they immigrated. Many of their stories, songs and ballads dealt with the history of their Ulster and Lowland Scot homelands, especially relating the tale of the Protestant King William III, Prince of Orange. Alternatively, it is also speculated that the term emerged as a derogatory nickname given by the coastal plain dwelling Anglo-Saxon Southerners for the hill-dwelling settlers of Eastern Tennessee, Western Virginia, northern Arkansas and Eastern Kentucky, many of whom were ambivalent to the Confederacy during the American Civil War[citation needed]. Billy Yank was the common term for Union soldiers, the nemesis of the Confederate Johnny Reb. |
